Hello. I have scratched my gwa2 ss version screen. Can anyone help me out on this.
1. Gorilla glass dx + - what material is made of ?
2. Which polishing or anything material to buy ?
3. If you had same problem how did you fixed it ?
4. Should i go to professional jewelry service for polishing glass ?
could u at least recommend where to ask this ??
IMHO maybe ignore it... if all Touch work...
IMHO you risk with funny experiments much uglier and bigger "scratch"... and/or you create more problems maybe with colors... or touch...
Pros maybe want only your money...
I remember long time ago...
Scratch on my Display from Phone...
I have polished... and as result from tiny invisible mini scratch I got ugly big round mega scratch...
Best Regards

Hi..
The Xperia arc has a special screen (like the iphone) against the scratches? i have read that it have a screen protector but can it be replaced?
I'm thinking about buy a screen protector
Yes, I tried all 3 versions I could find :
- anti glare, to dark for me not nice on screen
- mirror, to much mirror when screen is off it is really a mirror
- normal, this one is the best not hard to aply and when you aply it right than you can't see it is there fits perfect
yes.. it has a screen protector.. don't replace it... unless you really have to.
but the xperia doesn't have a screen protector by default? ... i see little scratches because my dad put the phone in his pocket ¬_¬ ... so i want to know if the xperia haves a screen protector and it cant be replaced for a new one
Like I said the ''clear'' that is the normal one, is very nice it feels much better than the one that is already on it and I bet you can't see it

I think ''clear''
is the best

So, I was thinking that:
guys, if i buy a chunk of gorilla glass, can i cut it so it fits the phone? i have the steady hand and good precision, im asking if it work or not. and how much would a chunk of gorilla glass cost? I already got the glass cutting tool my present screen was scratched when i slid it on a normal wood table!! the scratch isnt bad, but really annoying if it reflects the light badly when in sunlight and... you get what im saying
no, you cant cut it with normal glass cutting tool...it is a hardened glass...if you try to do so it may break

can you point out a tool that can cut it? for the general knowlege or maybe practical
I don't think you get a gorrila glass just like in the market. And if you find a seller you would have to buy like huge sheet of glass or sth.
And if you find it, how are you gonna install it??
BTW wouldn't it look odd to have a glass elevation on your phone. If you want to change the touch screen just directly go to Samsung service center. I got my galaxy ace's screen fixed for Rs.2500

if u realy want to.....maybe u can cut it just like the glass display and replace the glass part all together....
but u will need alot of skill, and u will have to get gorrilla glass from somewhere ...
its expensive and u will have to probably have to buy a huge chunk.
not advisable and not even sure if its possible
you can buy maybe galaxy note screen then sand it to fit or something? I"m no expert about glass.

i have no clue never did it and probably never will
here look in the service manuel dowload is on bottom
I don't think you can do what you are suggesting here. The screen on the phone is not plain glass or plastic, its a digitizer turning touch signals to system functions (hence the "touch screen"). You can't just take a gorilla glass panel and replace the digitizer.
i suggest you use a screen protector (vikuiti perhaps?), it's much cheaper and easier.

i would thank you but i ran out of thanks per day maybe later.
thanks for this, i would probably have effed up my phone!!
i remember someones HTC touchpro wouldnt work without the special plastic when he pealed it off
my problem isnt having scratches mainly, its just the glass is so crap! sometimes i can see the lcd flick under my thumb when i use the phone (and im not pressing too hard either) i dont know why. and anyway the gorilla feels better when you touch it. lol i mean gorilla glass.
I agree with tomsi191, I think you'd loose the "touch" functionality.
Just don't press so hard on it !

i slid it across the table and it took visible scratches that look like they have been caused by a T-Rex.

mine got scratches from the zipper on the pockets of my jacket ?! i was too lazy to buy a screen protector
anyway you can buy a digitizer for about 20$ in ebay and there is even a video tutorial in youtube on how to change it
about the other problems you mentioned, it's not the digitizer, the lcd screen on this phone is crappy (probably the only thing crappy in G3)

good news for me: my friend said he will give me his galaxy s2 when he gets the nexus. YAY!

I allready made it on a old htc hd and a bb torch I will send pics and how to with the first chance

Hello, found a few scratches on my Xperia Arc screen and got very disappointed, I thought it had scratch resistant screen, later I took a close look to the screen and found out that it had one more screen layer, could anyone tell me if it can be removed or not, because when I asked SE support team, the operator told me that it can be removed, I just wont a suggestion, help guys.
I would not touch that layer it is part of the capacitive sensor on the screen if I'm not mistaken
yeah, I'm afraid of that too, but support team convinced me in opposite
Yes, you can remove it without problems. I did it in December without problems so far.

how did you remove it? any suggestions to peel it off? It's a bit hard to do that ( with nails )
With my nails
It takes a while to pick up a corner, but once you got a corner picked up it's easy.

Part of capacitive sensor ?? Lol
Anyways..it's just a screen protector..if got scratched,replace it with a new one..
And in this case,i would suggest you to seek some professional help as you might end up making new scratches in order to remove the protector.It's a tough job and needs a lot of love and care d(^_^)
Thank you all, I did it, it really was a screen protector, if found layer like this on your arc , you should peel it off, as a result you get Better colors, touchscreen enhancement and sharper image.
I dont think that we should remove the screen guard. SE provides two screen guards with the handset. One comes already pasted on ur handset and other comes in the box. we need not remove it as it keeps the main screen safe from scratches..
I really agree with your, but that screen protector makes touchpad less sensitive and colors are less vivid, so I prefer being extra careful with my phone then looking at Less Attractive screen
Last time I checked the screen protector I have on doesn't change the quality, clearness or the color of the display. Just saying.
Protect your screen with one. Most of them now a good and leave your screen feeling normal.
i know its an old question but anyway i have one question.how hard is it to peel of the screen protector? im trying it right now and im afraid of braking something, should i force it off or what?
It is glued there so you may have to use some force to peel it off.

Hi
just need to know whether Arc S has a built in screen guard from the company or not !
cuz from the beginning m not using any protection as i see an edge around the corners that reflects the dual surface, which i believe is the original protector !
plz help as i want to put a guard now as i see sme minor scratches which are alarming !
awaiting reply
Yep the phone comes with 'mineral-resistant screen'. However it is best to put another screen protector on it just to be on the safe side I have a mirrored one
thnx ! but if that mineral protector is somehow peeled off ! is it bad ? cuz i did that deliberately !

Really? At least on my phone I even did not try because it looks like almost as its fixed there and cant be peeled.
Mine as well didn't last long.. In just couple of days air bubbles started to breed between the screen and the protector! I had to take it off and apply a new one (you can buy in mobile shops)
A good tip is to make sure there's absolutely no dust on the screen before you start applying the protector
Stock protector is applied so precisely and is so sticky that it's almost impossible to "accidentally" remove it. So I don't know how did you manage to do that, really.
Also, can someone explain to me how is it possible for bubbles to start appearing under screen protector all by themselves, for no reason??? Some new laws of physics maybe, or...?

It's barely impossible to change the glass only. You need someone really "pro" to do it. Even official support never does that and always change glass + screen...
On AE, there are screen + glass available
You've seen by yourself places in India to have glass changed & there is a glass link on AE
